Yeah, I thought about concision and =E2=80=98--profile=E2=80=99 seemed less= important than =E2=80=9Cdeleting old generations=E2=80=9D etc. Also, caching in =E2=80=98guix shell=E2=80=99 was designed to automate what= one would do manually with =E2=80=98-p=E2=80=99: registering the GC root, cleaning thing= s up that are unused. The goal was to provide a simpler interface, which ideally also means simpler onboarding. Anyway, no strong opinion, so I=E2=80=99ve re-added the =E2=80=9Cmanaging s= eparate profiles=E2=80=9D bit. Thanks, Ludo=E2=80=99.
